@rozenglass not familiar with them much myself either. I listened to polychrome (https://yewtu.be/c3sKl-uqIBA?listen=1&list=PLnqBohRq-E8DbmexDdkL1XJ5jc16SYLPd) though.

@hyphen Not bad, but not favorites of mine really. I don't know if I can describe the difference between them and the Sweet Trip one. Well, first off, the album I picked, The Way of One, is mostly pretty far away in genre from whatever Fruitcake and Cookies and Cobalt are, so it is hard to compare them. I don't think anything there stood out to me as something interesting in particular.Now, as for Cobalt, it is pretty close in form and performance, but it is different in _meaning_ somehow. The Koan one is full of a strong sense of wonder, and hope, generally up-beat in a way, but the Sweet Trip one is not. Fruitcake and Cookies is a lot deeper to me. It sounds of of nostalgia, hopeless, a longing for moments that would never come back. The inconsistencies, the breaking tones, the loops, they are not mere musical tools to generate a good sound, but means to reflect the nature of distant memories, and how we perceive them in our minds; fading voices of people we miss, uttering words we still remember, fast changing ambiences jumping from one significant memory to another, random stuff that happened in the background, that we remember, and we don't know why we remember them exactly, old music-box melodies. Short fast-repeating loops punctuate the significant memories with repeated insignificant routine days that hardly have anything in them to remember, so we feel as if they passed in a blink of an eye, barely registering as a blib, but they are not _completely_ ignored, because we still mourn them.And then the way the track ends in the last minute, with it transitioning so suddenly from the rich and chaotic world of memories to the voice of a young man humming along with the voice from his past, humming _alone_, without the _person_ from their past, pulled by life, away from the comfort and wish of the dream realm, and back into the concrete moment, and even though he stops, probably occupied by some menial things of reality, the haunting echos stay, in the back of the mind, never really disappearing, until the end, when the tape is at its end, and everything stops.Maybe I just read too much into things lolMaybe it just so happens that this one reflects something in me, peculiar to me. I did not feel anything of that significance in the Cobalt one, I could not see a narrative or meaning, just generally good sounds. But I know that interpretation is individualistic, and someone else might see something else that I could not see. Heck the composers might not have intended any of this[1], but I guess the audience always has the right to fill in their own self into the blanks, and, generally speaking, the more they could do that with a piece of art, the more they find it significant, and the more they identify with it; they "like it". Well, at least people of the more intuitive types of personality I guess.Anyways, I'll stop now, and save you from any more unsolicited random blasts of emotions :PHave a good day :pat:---[1] although they call themselves "Sweet Trip", so I'm inclined to believe they _did_ in some capacity.

@rozenglass wow thanks for the deep experience analysis here.> save you from any more unsolicited random blasts of emotions absolutely not the case, I enjoyed reading this and seeing the song thru your eyes somewhatand yeah it was just the similarity in vibes to me, the way the two sound, I admit I didn't give all my focus to the lyrics so I may have missed something.Polychrome in general (the album in the playlist link) feels colourful and pure (not surprisingly considering the name).

@hyphen > I didn't give all my focus to the lyricsme neither. I've been bitten so many times by lyrics ruining whatever images I conjured up in my mind after I look them up lol I prefer to pick up on a few words, fill in others, and build from their.One example of that is "where mermaids drown - One Week" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8AHv6XavakE). I missed only a few words on my first listen, but I built an impression that was pretty different from what the lyrics with those missing words implied.
